This course uses the broad topic of the Founding Era of the American Republic to introduce History majors to the methodology of researching, interpreting, and writing history.  Our “Founders” will include not only the famous men of the revolutionary and post-revolutionary eras—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, et al.—but also those less celebrated men and women whose ideas and actions influenced the “world” the revolutionaries made.
